Flowerchild - no i didn't get my levels done, i questioned a few times and they said there was no real need. I was already on normal preg. vitamins for 6 months prior to falling pregnant and during the pregnancy. Have now been on 5mg folate for 8 weeks and also b12 & b6.I just have this line up of vitmans sitting on my kitchen counter
Rach - i can't even begin to imagine how that must have been for you, my heart breaks for you!!
My doc also said to take 5mg folate forever, after my d&c when he came to see me, i asked him how long i would take it for and he said something like the next 45,697 days... The specialist from the foetal medicine unit beleives i was just unlucky, due to my age and no family history, so fingers crossed i will have a happy story to tell such as your little Jack and the new bundle you're expecting soon.
I think we will wait the extra month, i just hate it when docs don't give you a clear answer. As when i questioned them both as to what to do if my period did not come back regular etc. after the d&c, they both said well then you'll be coming back to see us cause it means you'll be pregnant. And i was like but aren't i supposed to be actively trying NOT to get pregnant and all they do is smile & shrug?? Anyway i know only myself and DH can make the decision but thanks for your advice & opinions.
